Fishing for Souls: The Development and Impact of British Fishermen's Missions by

Description: Fishing for Souls by Stephen Friend Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A social history of the churches missions to fishermen in Britain, charting their successes and setbacks from the nineteenth century onwards. Publisher Description Fishing for Souls explores the origins and development of fishermens missions in Britain, focussing particularly on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book is the first to view the entire picture of a significant, although not broadly known, part of British history, and to add new relevant perspectives. Dr Stephen Friend FRSA establishes an historical outline of the development of the churches work among British fishing communities and explores why a mission specifically concerned with fishermen was not initiated until the industry entered a period of economic decline during the early 1880s. The factors relating to the development of British fishermans missions are complex, involving not only social and technological changes inside and outside the fishing industry, but also changing theological perceptions that had a significant impact on attitudes to social conditions. With its honesty and objectivity about developments, especially those that were difficult and painful for the fishermens mission societies at the time, Fishing for Souls reveals the magnificent work that the various societies did, and in some cases continue to do, making it evident to all the readers. Author Biography Dr Stephen Friend FRSA has a PhD from the University of Hull. His main areas of research have included the history, theology, anthropology and the psychology of religion. He was a joint founder in 1990 of the International Association for the Study of Maritime Mission (IASMM). He is a Winston Churchill Fellow and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
